    Well I didn't read his so there you go. It wasn't so tortured, just took some copy and pasting because of the similarities.

          That's what you wanted to "here"?

          Seriously do you live to bitch and argue?

            So why don't the Eagles end the speculation? They brought this on by releasing him a half hour after the nj.com article. You think that was coincidental. I don't. Either way, why shouldn't they explain their thinking?

              I thought I could catch my typo before you did.

                    This is my issue with it. If there was nothing more to the story, the Eagles could have clarified that. It would have taken all of 2 sentences.

                      I've thought a bit on this and cannot come up with a decent reason for why the Eagles would let the national media run with the gang story as a reason they cut him that doesn't make them look like assholes for not clearing it up if it wasn't the reason.

                        Yeah, it's puzzling to me. It would be nice to know exactly what the reason was for letting him go. I suspect we will never know for sure.

                          Needing proof, I don't jump to conclusions about orchestrated smears easily, although I get the skepticism of those who suspect the timing not to have been coincidental.

                          However, even if there was no hands-on smear, silently watching that national media frenzy if they knew it wasn't true seems to be some dastardly shit to me.

                            Just throwing a thought out there. What if they didn't KNOW it wasn't true. Is it possible they didn't cut him for gang related activity but they did not want to publicly say the story was untrue for something to come out right after. Maybe right after another team signs him.

                            If they said no he has no ties to a gang before a team signs him then it breaks he is involved in a gang slaying or something would the team that signed him have recourse against the Eagles? I guess what I am saying is by not saying anything are they/were they possibly just covering their asses?

                              And that's my issue with the FO

                              We may never know why they cut him. What is with the FO being so damn secretive ?? I've heard that they may be trying to spare DeSean, but I don't buy that. I've seen no indication that the real reason is so bad, that it's better for DeSean if they let the whole nation think that he's gang affiliated. That's a load of bull. Chip needs to show some fucking balls, get in front of the mic, drop a hot sixteen, and then tell us why a player considered to be a big factor in this team finally getting a Lombardi, was cut and allowed to go to a hated division rival.

                                Good theory. Makes sense.
